I've had the kit in my studio for about a week or so now and have been removing excess plastic. This is what the main parts looked like right from the box ... 
Now I have a couple questions for you guys. #1. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with the paint job. I could go with the classic 'Balance of Terror' overall light gray or I could go with the digital remastered Aztek pattern in metals with pearlescent green tints. What do you think? #2. I'm going to light the kit up. I've watched 'Balance of Terror' very closely looking for light patterns and guess what - there are none. The warp nacelles have no lights front or back and there don't appear to be any lights on the body of the model. I'm going to go with what appears to be the common thread of green bussards and red exhausts and add the lights to the hull as is commonly seen. My question here is what about anti-collision lights? Should I add something along the lines of what is seen on the Klingon BoP, go out on my own or add nothing. Any thoughts? |

My question to you is; why would it have any anti collision lights? It is in fact an alien spacecraft, so they may not use them like we (humans) are use to.
Also, in regards to your lighting question, there may not be any lighting in the warp nacelles because they may be enclosed?
As for painting, it's a toss up with what you would like to do, and how much work you want to put into it. Personally, I think the Aztec pattern would be neat to see....
.... maybe you should take a poll to help you make your decision.
